Explanation:

 A 'game of chance' is a form of gambling where an individual risks their money with the hope of winning more. The outcome of such games is unpredictable, and there is no guarantee of winning. Rasheed visited the Eid fair with his uncle and servant. At the fair, he was lured by a shopkeeper who rewarded customers with expensive prizes for playing a game of chance involving numbered discs. The shopkeeper, however, rigged the game and gave prizes only to his friends. Rasheed, being innocent, played the game and lost all his money. From this experience, Rasheed learned that he could easily be deceived by clever shopkeepers and swindled of his money.
